b. Homage to thy greatness, to thine eye, 0 father of the Maruts, that do I sing; Be propitious, with a fair sacrifice may we offer; Be this oblation acceptable to the gods.
c. This was the bundle of the gods, The germ of the waters smeared upon the plants; Pusan chose a drop of Soma [1]; A great stone was there then for them.
d. Father of calves, husband of cows, And father too of great gulfs, Calf, afterbirth, fresh milk, beestings, Clotted milk, curd, ghee is his seed.
e. Thee the cows chose for lordship, Thee the Maruts, sweet singers, bailed; Resting on the summit, the pinnacle, of lordly power, Then O dread one to us assign wealth. Unsuccessful is his animal offering for whom these (rites) are not performed; successful is the offering of him for whom they are performed.
